M67 Blue Stragglers with High-resolution Infrared Spectroscopy
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We report on the first detailed infrared chemical analysis of five binary members (S277, S997, S975, S1031, and S1195) in the open cluster M67 (NGC 2682).

Variable Blue Straggler Stars in the Open Cluster NGC 6819 Observed in the Kepler “Superstamp” Field
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 NGC 6819 is an open cluster of age 2.4 Gyr that was in the NASA Kepler spacecraft’s field of view from 2009 to 2013. The central part of the cluster was observed in a 200 × 200 pixel “superstamp” during these four years in 30 minute cadence photometry ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the first far-UV (FUV) imaging results of the intermediate-age Galactic open cluster NGC 2818 that has a planetary nebula (PN) within the field using images taken from the Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) aboard AstroSat.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the results of our Hubble Space Telescope far-ultraviolet survey of the blue lurkers (BLs) in M67. We find evidence for two white dwarf (WD) companions among the BLs that are indicative of mass transfer from an evolved companion, one in WOCS ...

BLUE STRAGGLERS AFTER THE MAIN SEQUENCE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 We study the post-main sequence evolution of products of collisions between main sequence stars (blue stragglers), with particular interest paid to the horizontal branch and asymptotic giant branch phases. We found that the blue straggler progeny populate the colour-magnitude diagram slightly blueward of the red giant branch and between 0.2 and 1 ...

Primordial binary evolution and blue stragglers [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009 AbstractBlue stragglers have been found in all populations. They are important in both stellar evolution and stellar population synthesis. Much evidence shows that blue stragglers are relevant to primordial binaries. Here, we summarize the links between binary evolution and blue stragglers, describe the characteristics of blue stragglers originating ...

Variability in Early Post-main-sequence Stars in Globular Cluster NGC 3201
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 In this paper we study stellar variability in the globular cluster NGC 3201 in the magnitude range V = 16–17, corresponding to the subgiant branch and blue stragglers region of the cluster.

Blue stragglers in open clusters [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2001 We performed for the rst time a detailed LTE spectroscopic study of a sample of blue straggler stars in the moderately old open cluster NGC 7789. For eight stars the parameters and abundances of several elements were determined. The cluster members show a remarkable surface magnesium deciency which is quite unusual for late B - early A stars.
